But police officers and firefighters are in Lansing Wednesday to push lawmakers to not curtail retiree health benefits.

Republicans are concerned about $10.1 billion in unfunded liabilities for municipal retiree health care. Public safety officers agree it's a problem, but say legislators should stick with consensus recommendations included in a task force report - not potentially interfere with collectively bargained contracts.

A spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof says the state should provide a "pathway" to resolve unfunded liabilities locally - through increased revenue or benefit changes.
